speaks of the anointing and joy).

Zebulon, meaning “dwelling”. The territory of Zebulon was fertile soil.
Brown = the color of wood and wood speaks of humanity; earthly; dried out;
barren.
White = purity, cleansing, righteousness, bride of Christ, sanctification,
blameless, virtuous.
Yellow = This color is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, but
believed by many Bible teachers to refer to the mind, soul, illumination and
enlightenment. Yellow is a color of light, like the sunshine.
It
takes the Word of God to renew the mind, and Psalms 119:130 says that the
entrance of God's Word brings light and understanding.
The
Urim and Thummim were stones used in the Old Testament to determine the will of
God on matters because the only thing man had was carnal understanding on
matters (only a select few, such as priests and kings, had the Holy Spirit).
Depending on a yes or no answer, the stones would light up like a
yellowish/white light. After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of
Pentecost in Acts 2, the Urim and Thummim were no longer necessary, or ever
mentioned again in Scripture, because now all believers have access to being
filled with the Holy Spirit and hearing His voice.
The
gemstone topaz is close to the color yellow. Topaz is the stone for the tribe
of Issachar. This tribe was known for having understanding of the times and
seasons of God.

and Revelation 1-2; also associated with the seraphims who have the appearance

I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
